Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 98 \ Small \ Cups}}\\\\\boxed {\boxed {\sf 57 \ Large \ Cups}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a system of equations.

First, define the variables.

Let s= small cups and g= large cups

Next, make 2 equations. 1 for the money and 1 for the number of cups.

<u>Money</u>

  • A small cup costs 1.25 and a large cup costs 2.50. The total money made is 265.
  • 1.25s+2.50g=265

<u>Number</u>

  • A total of 155 cups of lemonade were sold. The sum of small cups and large cups sold will equal 155.
  • s+g=155

Here is our system of equations:

1.25s+2.50g=265 \\s+g=155

Now, solve. Let's isolate a variable in the 2nd equation, so we can plug it in after.

  • Subtract g from both sides of the equation.
  • s+g=155
  • s+g-g=155-g
  • s=155-g

Now we know that s is equal to 155-g. We can substitute (155-g) in for s in the first equation.

1.25s +2.50g=265

1.25(155-g)+2.50g=265

Distribute the 1.25

  • 1.25(155-g)= (1.25*155)+ (1.25*-g)= 193.75-1.25g

193.75-1.25g+2.50g=265

Work to isolate the variable. Subtract 193.75 from both sides of the equation and combine like terms on the left.

193.75-1.25g+2.50g=265-193.75       (Subtract 193.75)

-1.25g+2.50g=265-193.75      

1.25g=71.25      (Combine like terms).

1.25 and g are being multiplied. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 1.25

1.25g/1.25=71.25/1.25\\g=71.25/1.25\\g=57

Now we know that 57 large cups were sold. Plug 57 back into the original second equation to find the small cups.

s+g=155

s+57=155

Subtract 57 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable, s.

s+57-57=155-57\\s=155-57\\s=98

Ashley sold 57 large cups and 98 small cups.

The initial cost of an office fax machine is $100. After 1 year, its value becomes $80. Which is the correct linear depreciation
Elis [28]

Answer:

y=100-20x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x-axis be the time (in years) and the y-axis the value of the fax machine (in dollars).

We know that the initial value of the fax machine is $100; in other words, when the time is zero years, the value is $100, or as an ordered pair (0, 100). We also know that after 1 year the value decreases to $80, so (1, 80).

Now we can find the slope of the line passing through those two points using the slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

(x_2,y_2) are the coordinates of the second point

Replacing values:

m=\frac{80-100}{1-0}

m=-20

Now, to complete our model we are using the point slope formula

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where

m is the slope

(x_1,y_1) are the coordinates of the first point

Replacing values:

y-100=-20(x-0)

y-100=-20x

y=-20x+100

y=100-20x

We can conclude that the correct linear depreciation model is y=100-20x
